This folder are the files stored in (the full path name)?
It is probably a permissions problem with - with the file or folder (or one of its parent folders). You want to give yourself full rights and/or to take ownership of the file/folder.
To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab. Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users). Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions. You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).) Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/. To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.
To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights. Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab. Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK. Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions. You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner). You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.) Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html. To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.
Good luck and I hope this helps!

All you have to do is open paint, click the blue button and click option of scanner or camera, follow the prompts.

Thank you for using the Microsoft Vista answers Forum.What is the file format of the images?
All the pictures have the same symptoms?
Disable the antivirus software on your computer and check if it works very well.
Make sure you have all updates for your version of Vista.
You can also try the new Windows Live Photo Gallery, as it has more features and should solve your problem.

Hi UKuser7,
Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forum.
Automatic logon is disabled in Windows 7 by default for security reasons. If it is enabled, anyone who can physically access the computer can also gain access to everything on the computer, including the networks that it is connected.
This setting is only recommended for cases where the computer is physically secure.
To set up Windows 7 to connect to the desktop automatically, follow the steps below.
1) click Start , and then enter the following command in the start search box:
Netplwiz
2) press ENTER.
This opens the Advanced user accounts Control Panel window.
(3) in the users tab, uncheck the box next to users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.
4) click apply at the bottom of the user accounts window.
(5) when the newspaper automatically on the dialog box appears, enter the user name for which you want to automatically connect to Windows 7. Then enter your password in the two areas where it is requested.
6) click on the OK button.
7) click OK in the window user accounts to complete the process.
Thereafter, your PC at startup, Windows 7 will be automatically connect.
